The Feeling I'm Manitoba wOrkius Up to
the Rebellion Point Over tho Railroad
Complications.
WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. A.-The situation
In connection with the Red River railroad
is becoming more involved every day. Tho
Canadian Pacific Railway Company has APP
parently decided on an open and vigorous
opposition. Yesterday a writ of injunction
was applied for on behalf Of Sir Donald
A. Smith. one CT the directors of the Can
adian Pacific, to restrain further opera
tons at certain sections OF the new
road where the route crosses property
owned by him This property is situated
in the parishes Of st. Norbert and ST. Aga
the, about thirty miles from hero, aud has
been already graded across. This writ only
differs from the one obtained by Browning
last Saturday il that it claims damages on
account of injury caused 10y grading. Both
cases will be dealt with il the courts. aud
it is thought that the province will lose.
Whether that is trus or not, tho
Government is determined to push The
road to speedy completion. The re-
port that Sir John Macdon aid had threat
ned to import British regulars and re-
strain work on the road at the point OF >he
bsyonet, if necessary, caused considerable
excitement, although generals dscredited.
Writs have been served on provincial min
listers in town, as well as On the CONTRACT
ors, but have only tended 10 increase their
energy in pushing on the work. The ait,-
iude OF the Manitobans appears to become
more bclligerent every day.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Providence and Bucket Interposes to
Save tho Steamship Propitious from Do
struction-The Captain Swept Overheard.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 2S.-The Births
steamship Propitious, from Carthayena
arrived at this port yesterday afternoon
in q badly battered condition and without
q captain, that officer having been lost on
the voyage. The chief officer reports that
on Saturday at seven O'Clock, sixty miles
of Cape Henry, tho Propitious encoun-
tered terrific gale which lasted until
three O'Clock in the afternoon. 1t swept
every thing before it. Some falling stan.
chions knocked circular hole
in the deck through which tn
water poured into tho hold. As ii
sent by kind Providence, q large, heavy
galvanized iron bucket was torn from its
fastenings aft and was swept up to the
hole, into which it fitted as snugly as
though specially made for the purpose.
This alone prevented the water from filling
and sinking the ship. In the meantime
Captain Nichols was swept overheard and
lost. The plankiny of the deck is badly
sprung. The first officer was quite badly
injured about the knees by falling spars.

Adoption Of the European Dress By Ladies

give up their ancient costume for that

that the present costume is more pic
turesque. more healthy. and. being
without changes. much moro economi-
cal than that which he wishes them to
adopt But be argues that while the
men of Japan are rapidly absorbing
the civilization of the West the women
remain behind, and that with the new
costume will come to them many of the
ideas, the domestic habits, the house.
hold customs out of which it has grown
and of which 1t is the expression.
This reasoning may strike us as fan
tastic, yet is not the custom in some
degree an infallible indication Of the
inward life of the wearer? There is.
for example, period in the life of
woman when her dress absorbs her at
tention, just as dolls do in childhood,
or her children in maturer years. Dur
ing that time she thinks her costume is
shaped by the ruling fashion. but, in
fact, her own temperament, taste and
character are indicated by it in thou
sand intangible ways. which the most
Indifferent observer may read.

Fishermen The Dolcfull Tale OF the
Captured Schooner SayWard-A Protest
Promised.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. ga 1Ne,es sps.
cial from Ottawa, Ont, says: Private
Dispatches have been received b. the gov.
errmsnt giving accounts Of what the
Fisheries and Marine Department. con-
sidcrs gross outrages by the United States
in Behring sea. Deputy Minister Tilton
said to the Netcs correspondent yesterday:
''If this outrage had been committed by
Canada against the United States Presi-
dent Cleveland would issue proclamation
OF retaliation within forty-eight hours, or
else the people would rise in their might
and demand such action"
The dispatches nrs still held private, but
your correspondent has secured positive
and authentic knowledge Of their contents.
Their substance il stated by an affidavit
forwarded by Andrew Lang, first officer of
the British sealing schooner Eayward.
He testified under oat', that the Sayward
left Victoria on May IS. bound on q seal
ing voyage with seven men and
sixteen Indian hunters. He says:
I'VE commenced sealing on Cape
Scott, of the north Of Vancouver
Island. aud killed 429 fur seals in the Pa
ciic ocean. Our vessel then entered
Behriny sea, July Z. the weather being
thick and foxy. On July we were
captured BY tho United States steamer
Richard Rush. being then thirty or
forty miles of the nearest land. We wore
taken In tow to Ounalaska and laid along
side the steamer St. Paul, Of the CONNER
cial Company. They removed the
sealskins, taking them ashore and
placing them In tho compsny's
warehouse resulting tho skins with salt
taken from our vessels. They put an om-
Ger of the Rush on board the Sayward,
lowed US out to sea and sent US to Sitka.
The vessel was left in charge Of an United
States officer and We were only allowed to
remove our clothing. Tho Indians were
left to find their homes as best they could.
They were about seven hundred miles
from their village when we were taken. 1
spoke TO the captain of the Rush and told
him we had not captured seal in Behring
sea, and he replied: 81 am sorry for you.
I have to obey orders and take every
thing come across in Behring sea-"
Lang's affidavit is sworn to before Nj.
". Tierrett Drake, notary public. The
authorities here regard this not only as a
gross breach Of international law in sex-
ing British ship on the high seas, but
gross inhumauity to the crew. They say
that the Captain of the Rush stating that
he would seize everything shows the course
Secretary Bavard has determined on. Up
to the present time there has been much
diplomacy, but Bayard has avoided q
final decision Tho inform finn ha a h0en
forwarded to the British Government, and
it is expected that vigorous and perhaps
warlike protest will at once be made.
